A Gold Coin will Feature the Baltic Linguistics

On 17th of June the Bank of Lithuania will introduce a gold (commemorative) 10 litas coin into circulation from the series of "Lithuanian science". The above coin will be dedicated to the Baltic linguistics.

At 10.00 a.m. a public presentation of the coin will be held at the Faculty of Philology of the Vilnius University. Representatives of the Bank of Lithuania, Vilnius University as well as the new gold coin designer will present it to the community.
